The Memories of Clary Swann - Page 4 The ballroom above The Casino was state of the art. There was enough space for 500 people to dance. The stairs, entrance way and room itself were all decorated with oak panelling with a grand art deco ceiling. The ballroom boasted 20 windows facing over the seawall. The ballroom had to be licensed as a restaurant, to
get round this requirement they sold a sandwich to have with a drink.
Orchestras entertained guests at the regular tea dances that were
held in the ballroom before the war.
The Casino was now up and running with the ballroom upstairs and restaurants and entertainment on the ground floor. There was a wealth of slot machines of all kinds, rides with all ages catered for. The completed building consisted of dodgems, boating pool, house of fun and childrens roundabouts.
